The World’s Largest Migration

Chinese / Lunar New Year is the World’s Largest Annual Human Migration!!

Once every 12 months, the world’s largest human migration happens in China. Over the 40-day travel period of Chinese New Year, three billion trips are taken, as families reunite and celebrate. Now, the most strenuous of these trips are taken by the country’s 290 million migrant workers, for many of whom this is the one chance a year to go home and see parents and their left-behind children.
